City Council Meeting Minutes November 16, 2021 Page 6 of 11 split face finish. It is consistent with other buildings in town. Mayor Stolzmann stated that from the renderings it is not clear this block will meet the CDDSG. Mayor Stolzmann asked if there was a written guarantee on the size of the trees to be planted. Interim Planning Director Ritchie stated it is included in the PUD and it is also checked at the time of permit approval. These renderings are what the trees would probably look like at 10 years. If Council wants to require a larger size of tree at planting it can include that as a condition of approval. Councilmember Brown asked what kind of water demand this site would have and if it would require the city to procure additional water rights or a higher tap fee. Interim Planning Director Ritchie stated that public works staff reviews applications for water use and determines if a use would require additional water or if it could be covered by existing resources. It is assumed that the City has sufficient water to cover this use. The tap fee is paid at the time of building permit and is determined by a set of calculations and estimates based on expected use and fixture count. That is monitored over time as well and can be adjusted if use is much higher than anticipated. Councilmember Most stated she is concerned about how growth in this area would affect the rural character of this area and the amount of traffic it will bring to the area. She is also concerned about the water usage on that property for the business use as well as the amount of water that will be need for the trees that are proposed for screening. Councilmember Fahey stated she agreed that the landscaping should include xeriscape that would use less water. She likes the plan for the business to recycle water on site as well. She stated she does not feel this carwash use will generate a significant amount of traffic to the area. She stated this application meets the criteria and she supports approval. Mayor Pro Tern Maloney stated this is a Special Review Use for this area per the GDP and he believes this application complies with the code for this site. MOTION: Mayor Pro Tern Maloney moved to approve the resolution; Councilmember Fahey seconded the motion. Councilmember Brown offered a friendly amendment to add a condition that the applicant install a system that can recycle 70% of the water used in the facility. Members agreed to add a condition for recycling water. Staff will work with the applicant to memorialize in the PUD a condition that 60% or more of the water on the site be recycled. Mayor Pro Tern Maloney and Councilmember Fahey accepted the friendly amendment.
